Hi folks,

In the past couple of days, I have been reading the OSH Notams, in particular, the VFR Arrival Procedures and I have a 'stupid' question that some of you who have flown to the convention may shed some light (this is my first time flying in).

The Notam states to maintain 90 knots @ 1,800 MSL or if unable, 135 knots @ 2,300 MSL.  It also states to proceed single file via the railroad tracks towards FISK.  Flying at 90 knots is not a problem for the Lancair 320/360 but if somebody ahead of me decides to fly much slower, say 60 knots, then I may run into a problem.  A friend of mine who flys a Kitfox once said that he was flying at 60 knots to allow another aircraft to cut in front of him.  This made everybody else fly at 60 knots behind him.  Flying at the higher altitude, to me, seems to be a better alternative.  However, how does this work?  Are there two 'single-file' lines, one at 1,800 MSL and the other at 2,300MSL?  If there are two lines, does the controllers converge the two lines upon reaching FISK?  Rick Argente
